Touchscreen Replacement for OEM Head Unit Digitiser

One thing I would try before doing the screen replacement is clean the screen parts that are hidden behind the plastic screen surround. Mine had lots of dirt there and the screen was not responding at the edges. The dirt could have been responsible for that. I did however have a spare MIB2 unit, so swapped the whole front panel over. I did apply the new digitiser to the old one. but feel it makes the screen harder to see in bright light. But that's a problem in general due to the angle of the stereo. Adding an oelscopic coating would help as these screens show up all the fingerprints.
 
All clean. A friend at a local body shop had some adhesive remover used for cleaning up residue left on bodywork from sign writing and wraps when they had been removed.

Even better, he did it for me .

Ordering a new digitiser now, so I'll report back once all back together.

Since this worked so well, do you may know the brand of the adhesive remover?
 
Anyone have a link as to where to buy the overlay , I've lost the link I had and would rather go from a recommendation than buying some tat of Temu

Part numbers, links and other hints / tips all in this thread.
 
Thanks to this thread I've changed my digitizer and fixed navi touch with 10eur!

I had mib std2 but the screen is same across all discovery 6,5", the codes to look for: TDO-WVGA0633F00039/TDO-WVGA0633F00045.

One hint: mine digitizer stopped working but was glued to LCD hard, so removing was not easy. I've used old guitar picks to disassemble but better was... dental floss :D After that, good to have sth hard to first remove glue mechanical, then with isopropanol.

The final effect is good

Placed a digitizer over the original, all touch points work however get this 3D rainbow effect when viewing from off angle…

If I lean over and look dead on it’s fine…

It’s a bit distracting!

Have the pins bedded in nicely on both sides? Handle them gently and give them a wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before they go in
 
The rainbow effect is due to diffraction scattering - meaning you have a very slight gap or different materials between two layers.
 
Was pretty certain I’d removed all protective layers… probably gonna have to take it apart again, as it’s distracting
 
If you do, give the screens a really good clean - they’ll practically adhere to each other that way
 
I would remove old one... It's really not do hard if you do this gently, and the effect will be faaaaar much better. Also it fits better.
